Former officers ,pf the Sumter Light Infantry ar* be-} trg forced under bond of $1,000 each to pay every cent of this shortage. Any part, even one legging, one shirt, one pair of breeches, one South Caro? lina or cross government pin, will help that much to cover the shortage, as they will be given credit for full value of any article (regardless of its present condition) returned to the armory. This shortage was not caused by negligence on the part of officers in charge, nor by any wrong intention on the part of the members. The men were simply allowed upon returning , from encampment and other trips and { drills to wear their uniforms home and were trusted to bring them back to armory. They Intended no doubt to do so. But mother or sister in straightening up their rooms tucked the uniforms away. Out of sight Is out of mind. There they are today, between $500 and $1,000 worth of them and tue officer who happened to bo tnmded will have to pay for ev? ery article or part thereof which is not returned to the armory within the next few weeks. The State Inspection will be held on the 27th of thU month, at which time every article will be counted and for? mer officers will be credited v.itn all articles turned in by that time. 1 appeal to every person in and around the city of Sunitcr in behalf of those who will suffer and III the name of truth, justice and patriotism, to search^ out and either return to armory hall or telephone me at Phone 7?.2 and 1 will cend for any a-tlclc ' found. Understand that this shortage cov? ers a period of about ten years and the fact that an article has been out j of the armory for that or even great- j er length of time will not lessen its mine oi keep u from being credited to the ottOOf who is responsible for it. The Sumter Light Infantry is your company, and Its officers and enlisted men are not and never have been other than your own people, and. as nUOhi every one of U| will appreciate and thank you *or any help or infor? mation which we feel sure you will i\o um, In this last effort to save the unnecessary paying of a s'nnle eent.
